The money for two year; irom the automobile tax i> still oi hand* and we would like to see i put in the improvement of some roac _ somewhere in the county. If som< one road could be built somewher * in the county under government air and government supervision fhen tlu w<%/v?v1 A f> A/\ \itV?n f ii? moortf hr pcvpic tuuiu occ *> aat 10 xutuuw wj W government built roads and thej - would be in position the beter to say how far they wanted to go in the mater of taxation of the spending cl money on roads. We built a government road of a mile some years ago and it lasted well and is better even now than the road was before it was built, but it is bad enough for lack of proper maintenance^ That mile of road demonstrated the absolute , necessity o! proper provision for maintenance ii the permanent roads we build are to be worth while for any length ol time. This mile of road was a heavy start/? hp/1 a sanH Hav rrwiH was made and it lasted well. And witi \ proper maintenance it would be good today. And it cost only $400 a mik to build at that time. .v i According to the reports made tc the cotton convention in Columbia or: Tnttrsciay irom me couon growing States there' were 37,051,000 acre* planted in cotton in 1918. The report showed that pledges had beer .'signed to reduce this acreage in 191S ' to 25,532;426 or a little more than 3( per cen% That * means taking of! f&out twelve million acres and or . Sk" the averfij^^J^cr?s for one halt it would mean^^reduction in production of around four million .bales of cotton. In c^er f words on tb< basis of the same yield this year as ' , .y last year it-would make an. eight or nine million bale crop at the out' side. Reports also indicate that there was a shortage of labor and the reduction of acreage and production is inevitable. The farmers, seem determined and if holding cotton and / reducing acreage will increase the price an increase is bound to come. It is well that the price remains lo\f until after planting time any way. ; recrot that tfp rmilH not m*>pt our appointment with Mr. T. M Mills for Friday to make a canvass of No. 9 in the matter of the coton acrage I hut a cold contracted at the cold court house on Wednesday made It necessary that we remain in doors i and besides we could not speak above v a whisper, but no doubt that would have been strong enough voice with which to talk to the good farmers of No. 9 who have f^r generations made their own supplies on the farm' and have made cotton the surplus crop and all of whom have cash money on hand all the time as a result ol such farming. I We can not see why a government bond should sell for less than what it says on its face it is worth. The government promises to pay $100 for a $100 bond. Is there any more reasor why a government bond should b( traded for less than its face value than there is why you should takt less than $10 for a national tank note of that denomir tion. Both are promises to pay. The security th' bank puts up to make its ten dollai rote good is a government bond. County 3Iedical Society.
